On character sums over flat numbers

Let $q\geqslant2$ be an integer, $\chi$ be any non-principal character mod $q$, and $H=H(q)\leqslant q.$ In this paper the authors prove some estimates for character sums of the form $$\mathcal{W}(\chi,H;q)=\sum_{n\in\mathscr{F}(H)}\chi(n),$$ where \mathscr{F}(H)=\left\{n\in\mathbb{Z}|(n,q)=1,1\leqslant n,\bar{n}\leqslant q, |n-\bar{n}|\leqslant H\}, $\bar{n}$ is defined by $n\bar{n}\equiv1\pmod q.$Comment: 9 pages, with a complete proof of Theorem 3, Section 5.
